Description:
------------
I'm finding that the crypt function produces different hashes on PHP4 and PHP5 systems when the second character of the salt is an underscore.







Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
print crypt("password","x_")."<br />";
print crypt("password","xx");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The hashes generated should always be the same.

Actual result:
--------------
Using the test code above the first hash will be different when ran using PHP 5.2.1 and PHP 4.4.4, but the second hash will always be the same.

PHP5.2 on windows returns the same result as on PHP5 & PHP4 on Linux.
So there was a problem in PHP4 on windows which eventually got fixed.

Bogus? I'd imagine that this bug still exists in the latest version of PHP4 as there's no mention of a fix in subsequent updates. The bugged version of PHP that we're runnign isn't really that old (4.4.4). We're going to have to be careful when upgrading now.

Why on earth has this bug been marked as bogus!? Of course it's a bug! This is going to cause us so many problems when we upgrade from PHP 4 to 5, becuase all the user passwords we have stored with one way encryption based on crypt won't work anymore!

I said the crypt function has been FIXED.
Now it returns the same result as on Linux.
